I'm [genuinely] curious: do you find it creepy only for similar-appearing couples in your own race/ethnic group? Assuming you're not Japanese, for example, would you have that reaction to the sight of such a Japanese family?
This is not meant as a pejorative. My guess is that such a bias is probably common _within_ a race/ethnicity, but much less so when viewing couples/families of other races.
- gohrt 11y agoPeople who know relatively many people of race A have more trouble distinguishing individuals of race B, than individuals of race A. When all members of a race look alike, there's less intrafamily similarity to notice.
